Thermal Imaging Plumbing Inspections
Whether you’re buying a home or maintaining your current one, a thermal imaging plumbing inspection provides peace of mind. At Spectra Home Inspection, we combine experience with advanced tools to give you the clearest picture of your home’s condition.
Thermal imaging technology has a wide range of applications in home inspections. It offers a direct yet non-invasive way to assess critical systems such as electrical wiring, heating, and plumbing. In the image below, a wastewater pipe is shown with hot water being flushed through it—visible as lighter yellow and white areas. However, a buildup of debris lining the pipe creates a noticeable temperature differential, visible in the dark blue and purple areas. The thermal camera detects this contrast because the debris insulates parts of the pipe from the heat of the water, making it easy to identify clogs quickly and accurately.
